Default Chess Moving, are they any good?

With all the recent discussion of dodgy removal companies can anyone give us some feedback on Chess Moving.

We are currently going with Prudential Movers who use Chess Moving as their partners in Oz. I feel comfortable with what I have seen from Prudential, but I have no idea about Chess.

Any info you have would be helpful to pre-empt any potential problems.

Cheers,

Adrian

Hi TH8HK

We self-shipped from the UK, only got hold of Chess while surfing the internet, they were professional, reliable and offered us a first class service, no issues at all. We are in Eltham NE Melbourne

Hi Adrian
Without any doubt, they are 100% reliable, friendly to deal with (Rohan in Perth) and an would be excellent choice.

We had a part delivery due to moving into a fully furnished house.
You have a free delivery this end as part of the contract. Rohan worked out that the volume staying in storage was much greater than the first delivery and so advised us to pay for the first delivery (charged on the volume), and use the free delivery for the bulk when we were ready. It was things like that where Chess helped us to say money, that we were so pleased with.

Also during the initial delivery, some of the items requested were numbered incorrectly by the packers in the UK. With no extra cost, Chess went back to Fremantle to collect the correct items and deliver them.
They will call and collect all the boxes and wrapping for free.
The storage fee's were also very reasonable too.

We used Britannia in the UK and Chess here, great blokes here. Balls up at the office, put their hands up to it and apologized, stuff came at 7pm instead of 1pm as arranged but as I say they rang to say they had ballsed up. Expected the delivery blokes to have the right arse having to make a delivery at 7pm on a Friday night but no they were as good as gold, though we never made them unpack as was in the contract, they still didn't finish until gone 10.
